Two feathers of the same bird: GLOBALISM & CHRONY CAPITALISM. We were told globalism is hurting us but capitalism is great, right? Maybe you were taught the opposite… what if?? What if there’s another bird all together?
What if Trump is building the AMERICA system? Globalism pushes contracts to other countries/tries to make us “one”…slaps on regulations/fees/lawfare to America to “level” the global field. Thereby, hurting our country under the guise of helping the world-really helps no one!
Capitalism: “get it done!” if a local artisan is making leather wallets to sell for $50…capitalists will take the design, run to China-manufacture for $1 and then sell them on amazon for $12. Yay! Right? Hurts our people, lowers our incentive to create. Lowers wages.

Trauma and the Erosion of Sovereignty
To recover individual sovereignty, one must address how early-life trauma (the "Blood of Circumcision") impacts the psyche. Here is how that trauma often conflicts with the ideal of a sovereign self:

1. The "Broken Boundary" Effect
Sovereignty requires a firm sense of physical boundaries. When those boundaries are violated through IGM, the subconscious message is that the individual does not truly own themselves.
The Result: It becomes harder to respect

the "sovereign other" because the concept of an inviolable body has already been discarded by the ideology, individual performing it, and the community normatlizing it.

The latest Ukrainian counterattack has drawn significant attention. The Ukrainians have claimed to liberate over 400 km².
There’s some sensationalism in the information space, as there seems to be some misunderstanding of what a liberated square kilometer here actually means. 1/

In Jan-Feb 2026, Ukraine conducted counterattacks in eastern Zaporizhzhia & Dnipropetrovsk oblasts. It’s the same area where Russia made a significant amount of their gains in late 2025. The area mostly consists of fields and small villages, without significant cities nearby. 2/
The Ukrainians are executing a localized operation to enhance their tactical positioning, rather than a broad counteroffensive with operational objectives. Politically and in the information space, these successes are vital, given the scarcity of positive news. 3/

1967: The first poll for Israel in the U.S. was in June 1967. Three polls in that month and one of them was dated June 8-10 showing a sharp dip.
Do you know what happened in that date range?
June 8, 1967: Israel attacked the USS Liberty.

Lots to say about the new Gallup poll showing for the first time that more Americans sympathize with Palestinians than with Israelis. Nobody should be surprised, and it also should not be taken as fatalistic. It does provide clarity on what to do and what to avoid, and has implications for potential conflict with Iran. A 🧵:
For decades, Americans sympathized with Israelis by large margins. This, and not the Israel lobby, is what drove US policy. And as I argued 15 years ago, the reasons Americans sympathized with Israel were not strategic, but ideological and values-driven tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.108…
Put simply, support for Israel dipped when Americans viewed it as behaving in ways inconsistent with liberal democratic values. This is why Gaza war supercharged a trend that was already underway. As justified as a response to October 7 was, the actual response was seen by a majority as over the top and violating assumptions about how Israel should behave as a democracy and US-supported partner.
Yesterday I posted a thread about “Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs” (arXiv, Feb. 2026), and I got a lot of questions in response.
So I want to do a follow-up that focuses less on the warning and more on the mechanics like what this research actually is, how the authors approached the problem, what they built, and what it means for ordinary people who assume that posting under a pseudonym still offers
meaningful protection.

@cullenroche @Dan_Denis The consolidation step just tracks net financial positions between sectors. It's a macro lens, not a dismissal of household wealth. Household net worth and inter-sector balances answer different questions.
@cullenroche @Dan_Denis Valuation gains change distribution within the private sector; deficits change net claims across sectors. Both perspectives can be useful without being contradictory.
@cullenroche @Dan_Denis If household wealth rises via asset prices, but the private sector as a whole wants to run a surplus while the U.S. runs a current account deficit, which sector absorbs the offsetting deficit?

My friend Boris Nemtsov was murdered 11 years ago today. He was one of the few who openly challenged Putin, and it cost him his life.

We met in the 1990s. Over two decades, different paths, different fates. While I was in prison, Boris stood at pickets holding my portrait, supported my family, and never stopped fighting for my freedom. You don't forget thinks like that.

When I was released, we sat down and talked for hours about Russia, about how to stop autocracy before it swallows everything, about how to avoid the worst. Boris was completely in the picture: sharp, alive, angry in the best sense of the word.
